If right now you look for E9Xs with less than 60k miles and for less than 30k, almost every single one is DCT.

Here are the links if you don't believe me

E9X:

F8X:

Just like in every generation M car, DCT/SMG/Auto/whatever_is_not_manual depreciates way faster

Right now if you look for cheap E46Ms they almost invariably are SMG
Right now if you look for cheap E9XMs they almost invariably are DCT
Right now if you look for cheap F8XMs they almost invariable are DCT

Do you see where this is going? Does anyone care to guess what is going to happen with the G8X?

My CS is DCT and so is my E90 stroker. I love DCT. That doesn't change the fact that the DCT cars would be worth a lot more if they were manual. Fortunately I have a manual E92 as well.
There are some other variables here. First - the SMG was horrible and expensive to fix, which is partially why values are lower.

The F series around here, and as well as nationwide from what I've seen, the manuals are almost always lower priced because they are harder to move. I don't expect this to change over time.
